It's that time of the year again, hot on the heels of the Venice international film festival and Toronto International Film Festivals where the big studios and A-listers have their World Premieres, the predictions will come thick and fast for the start of award season.

So this year we thought we'd start earlier and make a few predictions for the best documentary of the year, there's always going to be a late dark horse entry, but with the leaves falling it's time we start considering what sort of a year it's been for non-fiction. Obviously there are a number of Dogwoof releases that we think should take home the golden man, but the lists below are a quick predictions poll from the office, and despite being under one roof we all have very different tastes, tell us what you think, any glaring omissions?
